Rotherham have signed Tony Andreu and Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe from Norwich on loan.

Andreu and Odjidja-Ofoe both played for the Canaries in their Capital One Cup victory over the Millers last week and caught the attention of boss Steve Evans.

Frenchman Andreu joins until January while Belgian Odjidja-Ofoe has signed a month's emergency loan.

"Both lads have been on my radar for some time and I am again delighted that despite a lot of interest in securing them we have brought them to Rotherham United," Evans said.

"Tony Andreu is a very talented player, one who has a superb goalscoring record. He is a player who can play as a main striker or indeed one who supports a loan striker or two.

"He is always looking to be creative in the final third of the pitch whilst he retains a self-discipline to work extremely hard for the team.

"Vadis is an exciting talent and a player we look forward to working with, he is a full Belgium international.

"In last week's Capital One Cup match here versus Norwich City, this lad was by far the best player on show.

"Our supporters who attended that evening will recall his dynamic movement, his pace and power and undoubted technical ability.

"I must at this stage thank my good friend Alex Neil for his help as I know that as the manager of Norwich City he had several options in the Championship for both these lads separately, and moving as a partnership.

"My first task in bringing both the lads to the Millers was to convince Alex Neil that a period of time at Rotherham United in the Sky Bet Championship would allow both players to return to Carrow Road in due course and play for the Canaries in the Barclays Premier League.

"Both players must now join us and work hard to secure their place in the team. There is no doubt that it helped immensely in the lad's decision to join us in that they played at the AESSEAL New York Stadium only last week."
